Question 1

English grammar error-spotting (sequence of tenses in reported belief/expectation): Choose the single erroneous part; select ‘‘No error’’ only if all is correct: ‘‘He was sure / that he should / win the Prize. / No error.’

Accepted Answer

Concept/Approach After a past reporting verb of certainty/belief (‘‘was sure’’), the natural backshift for a future-in-the-past is ‘‘would’’: ‘‘that he would win …’’. ‘‘Should’’ does not express simple futurity here. Correction ‘‘He was sure that he would win the prize.’’ Notes Also standardize capitalization: ‘‘prize’’ is not a proper noun unless part of a title (e.g., ‘‘the Nobel Prize’’). Final Answer that he should

Question 2

English grammar error-spotting (‘‘too … to’’ construction; intensifier usage): Read the sentence and pick the erroneous segment only if present; otherwise choose ‘‘No error’’: ‘‘He is / too intelligent / to make a mistake. / No error.’

Accepted Answer

Grammar check The idiom ‘‘too + adjective + to + verb’’ can mean ‘‘so … that not’’; here it conveys ‘‘so intelligent that he does not make mistakes’’. The construction is acceptable and idiomatic. Common pitfalls Assuming ‘‘too … to’’ is always ungrammatical—what matters is the intended negative result implied. Final Answer No error.

Question 3

English grammar error-spotting (third conditional form—‘‘would have’’ + ‘‘if’’-clause with past perfect): Identify the single erroneous segment: ‘‘He fell from a running train / and would have died / if the villagers did not get him admitted in the …

Accepted Answer

Given data Main clause: ‘‘… would have died’’ → counterfactual past result. If-clause: uses simple past ‘‘did not’’ + awkward verb choice/preposition. Concept/Approach In a third conditional, pair ‘‘would have + past participle’’ with an if-clause in the past perfect: ‘‘if … had not …’’ Also prefer ‘‘admitted to hospital’’ for the preposition. Step-by-step correction Use past perfect in the condition: ‘‘if the villagers had not got/gotten him admitted …’’Preposition: ‘‘admitted to the nearby hospital’’. Common pitfalls Mixing ‘‘would have’’ with ‘‘if + did’’. Using ‘‘in hospital’’ vs ‘‘to hospital’’—both can be correct in different senses; here ‘‘admitted to’’ fits best. Final Answer if the villagers did not get him admitted in the nearby hospital immediately.
